The law is specific to motorcycles. Cars will trip the sensors, but many bikes won't. This temporary law allows motorcyclists to wait 1.5 minutes and if it's safe and no response from the light, they can go. Left turning traffic
never has the right of way unless they specifically have a green left arrow. If the light doesn't trip for a moto, they would not have the right of way, and thus have to wait until there is no conflicting traffic (such as a 2-way or 4-way stop).
I rarely get caught in this scenario unless I'm coming home late from work, but I wish they'd pass this in Colorado, even if it's the same "one year see if it works" plan.

I'd LOVE to have a moto trials bike... I rode bicycle trials for several years until my job required too much time, and trials riding caused too much pain. There may be few of that particular model in the states, but there are lots of moto trials bikes around, just not mainstream. Sherco, Gas Gas, etc.
